Here's a look at the most popular celebrities and professional athletes from the Q4 wave of the Top Ten List report. On a sequential basis, Daniel Tosh experienced the largest increase in popularity among teen and college guys. Among female respondents, Ryan Gosling shot up the ranks of the list to secure top billing for the first time. Taylor Lautner had been number one for the past five quarters. The big story on the female celebrity side of things is Mila Kunis. She number one among the guys and number two among the young ladies. It's rare (especially in the female celeb category) to see both teen/college males and females rank the the same celebrity as high as they did, but the occasional exception pops up and this is one of those cases.
The most popular pro athletes category saw quite a bit of change compared to the prior quarter. Tim Tebow replaced LeBron James the top athlete among teen and college guys, while the Denver QB was also number one among teen and college females for the first time. Tiger Woods was the last pro athlete to be number one in a wave of Top Ten among both teen/college males and females and you have to go back almost five years for that, so that's quite a statement being made by the audience for Tebow.
